Anyone have a good newbie racing build? Haven't played in a long time... it used to be marauder flame totem but that seems to have been nerfed?
So... is the level 10 mystery box a ONE TIME thing over the entire weekend? or one possible box for every race?
>>167982656
my skill tree looks like this poeurl.com/2H2
it seemed ok I don't know what my crit chance is with 6 power charges but its got to be bretty good and Im looking to go Vaal Spark when I get CI gear
>only steam games ive ever played are PoE and grim downz
>the steam queue tries to recommend me a bunch of anime games and generic asian mmos
why
So I was originally going to build a generic boring Ranger Bow Build when I tested some frost blades and realized HOLY SHIT those things can be awesome.
Currently at lvl 20 and running around with 2 cheap daggers, Multiple Projectile frostblades, herald of ice, and arctic armour.
I want to build this as a critbuild to maximize the ammount of status ailment.
Also, currently I lack a gapcloser and a reliable single-target skill. Was thinking to also get riposte (maybe even just run shield+dagger. I would probably switch Herald of ice for Hatred later on, simply because the latter scales properly with my damage.
Does anyone want to give some insight into this?
The basic questions to answer:
1. what damage to stack? Dagger/Weapon, Physical, Elemental?
2. Block or not? Riposte or not?
3. dualwield or not?
4. do "extra physical damage with [Melee weapon] modifiers apply to Frost Blades projectiles? Can't deduce this from the wiki page. their keywords are Attack, projectile, cold
5. Pathfinder or Raider?
6. Single target skill?
7. Gapcloser? Was thinking about whirling blades or flicker strike.
8. Mana sustainability? Poacher's mark seems promising.
>>167983891
>>167985334
1. depends. but if you say you are gonna go crit, scale your damage via crit multi and ele damage
2. depends on how you build, if you are gonna get block or dodge. id suggest going block/shield for now but dont overfocus on it
3.see above
4. yes, the projectiles scale directly off your main hit
5. deadeye or raider
6. doesnt matter.
7. shield charge if using shield. whirling if not
8. nonissue
>>167984339
well, is it wrong?
You think srs or firestorm is better for witch racing. Not sure which to try
>>167983882
>By reaching level 10 in any race you will be awarded a Stormcaller Mystery Box. This applies only once per account. Multiple level 10 characters will not grant multiple mystery boxes. If you're participating in a race that starts at a higher level, you would need to get 10 levels above the starting level to be awarded a mystery box. For example, if the race starts at level 28, you'll need to get level 38.
To answer your question, one stormcaller box per account. Rewards for placing top50 you can get many times but it's random
>>167987674
So... just need to run one race and never touch the shit again for my free MTC?
>>167987735
That is correct
>>167987825
I never understood the reward factor to racing outside of MTC. Skin transfer specifically... isn't that shit only for Standard league that no one plays?
I'd have liked something that is actually good for temp league players, like a bit more free MTC or something but it seems like skin transfers and shitty legacy uniques no one gives a shit about outside of standard.
>>167987735
Races are still a lot of fun though. Even if I'm not top 50, or something. Maybe i can get top for my class and it's still fun
>>167986396
thanks for that so far.
Why deadeye? Isn't that super projectile focussed? I guess Raider has a lot of advantages with Phasing and Frenzy charge generation
Whirling turns out to be a crapheap, it immobilizes me for a while afterwards, way too long to be useful. actually thinking about flamedash or sticking with flicker.
For Singlöetarget I chose
Additional question: should I go for Strength for extra HP on the side?
>>167988082
deadeye has projectile shit that is good for frost blades including the "free" chain which is a huge damage boost vs groups
raider has immunities, good defensive shit and trivial frenzy generation
get str on gear for more hp, but dont waste your passive tree points on str nodes that dont also give you something else
>>167986396
>4. yes, the projectiles scale directly off your main hit
no they dont
from the wiki
>However the initial melee attack scales with melee damage modifiers (such as Melee Physical Damage), whereas the projectiles scale with projectile damage modifiers
How long does it take to get your race reward/points after race ends?
>>167988740
thats right. i had the impression the projectile was a % of the melee hit like molten strike but they arent
>>167988986
but molten strike works the same way
again from the wiki
>For example, supporting Molten Strike with Melee Physical Damage Support will increase the damage of the melee hit but not the projectiles
>>167988986
>>167988740
Still figuring out if taking Lighting strike would be a better idea.
>>167989451
don't know but if you are going frostblades i'd scale it through ele damage and crit multi like the other anon said.
so you dont have to deal with the weirdness of melee and proj damage not scaling all your hits
if you go lightning strike you can scale through proj damage as you don't need to hit with your melee attack to get the projectiles
>>167989924
Currently refunding points, grabbing the physical attack nodes and Finesse close to the starting position together with Heart of oak. also saw the master of force node further up, plain physical damage as well. but I don't know if there are many of those in reach left and where all the crit multiplyer nodes are. Ele nodes are scarce in this part of the skill tree
hell yeah, sold my first found rare
>>167990467
Not bad. How much it go for?
>>167990467
>mana flask
>>167990312
if you are planning to use daggers you can grab the dagger nodes. they are just phys damage without specifying melee
>>167990312
oh and dont take master of force. it sucks compared to other damage clusters
>>167990653
>Not bad. How much it go for?
3c
>>167990702
i'm tri-curse flameblast and so i only have room for one elreon ring.

lol haha i thought it would go for more desu. Still not bad I guess
>>167990702
>not using a mana flask for no leech regen maps
>>167992449
you can use a scour on those tho
kinda don't give a shit about "free" mtx anymore now that SSF is king
>>167992328
it wasn't the 12% resist all kind (angelic) so i felt like even 3c was pushing it, but I know jack shit about pricing and it sold pretty fast so who knows
>>167993359
whatever you need to tell yourself to justify your failure in races bud
>>167993164
Why waste a good map if you can just bring a mana flask
When the fuck do we get our free MTX box? I got level 17 in the descent race and still nothing.
>>167993895
didn't ask for your opinion
Hey, frostblades guy here.
I switched my Frostblades for lighting strike, because it deals way more damage apparently, with the drawback of slower projectiles and normal instead of extended melee range.
BUT:
If I stick with hatred and shield charge, I have 3 different elemental spells that gain damage directly from attack damage rather than being a flat addition.
SO, I was wondering if it would be worth it to get Elemental Equilibrium?
>>167997778
Just realized shield charge doesn't deal Fire damage, my bad, sorry
Still, if I have an aura that turns 25% of physical damage into Cold and use a skill that deals 50% of physical damage in lighting, does that mean that the attack only does 25% physical damage? Or is it not additive?
I just got fire and brimstone. Can I just wear blackgleam in my secondary? Or do I actually have to get a bow or some shit
>tfw you just want to take a "quick nap" in between races and end up sleeping for 8 hours

When will /our guy/ come back to save PoE?
first of all project pt is our guy
rejectpt is playing wow now ROFL
>>167997778
I abandoned Lighting strike in favour of Viper and Reaver and then finally got my first blade flurry.
Since eveeryone and their dog seems to run a build for that, I thought it would be a supercool skill.
Nope, turns out it's ultraboring. Just stand there and keep the button pressen.
Then on the other hand, we have Cyclone and wild strike.
Now those are awesome skills fun to use AND powerful.
Or am I missing something?
Still running dagger+shield btw.
>>168006290

why don't you try to get gud?
What do you think is the most unplayed class in race for ez mtx
I got off to a pretty shitty start rolling witch last race. I ended up with marauder cruising a lot easier
>>168010695
that chink is advocating for even more powercreep
he wants primal ancients to be better than sets by themselves
there's no reward per class besides rank 1 demi
in a regular race season, scion would be the most unplayed and a sensible pick if you're aiming for easy points but in this race week-end, you're just gimping yourself for no reason if you're not shadow/ranger/witch
It says top 10 randomly of every top 50, or top 30 of every top 200 will get shit though. I only started playing poe recently. I see most of the top people playing shadow and I know if I play shadow I won't even get top 50 or 200 probably and have chance at anything
Rereading actually it means top 200 total in the race. I mix up class/race sometimes coming from other games
Idk why I bother lmao
random top 10 of top 50 get armor set
random top 30 of 300 get footprints
zero reason to play a dogshit racing class like scion unless you're confident you can get a demi
>>168011069
sets are ruining the game. since blizzard will never nerf anything powercreep is the only way they'd ever fix it

>>168021467
Yes I am, I am also aware they changed the spirit AI and people complained all fucking league. Either that , or they were hitting the new summon cap too quickly and older spirits were replaced with new ones.
Cmon just give me anyhting I'm missing from the usual ones. FB, SRS, EQ, etc.
>>168021820
new SRS ai is fine, lower spirits cap makes early leveling stronger and SSF stronger as well since you don't need as much cast speed as before and it works well on a 4L without spell echo
>Cmon just give me anyhting I'm missing from the usual ones
not sure what more you want, you got totems, casters shit, and summoner shits, that gets you covered for SSF
What is the point of racing when you are using a logout macro? Having to run 3rd party applications just to be competitive is ridiculous
you can't logout in a race if you want to go fast lol
what are you talking about
>>168022126
raiz logged and still got 1st place, what are you talking about?
a macro saves you like 0.5 sec but okay

>>168032176
>Demon's Souls' difficulty
Demon's Souls is arguably an easier game than all the other Souls games that exist. It's got the best atmosphere and lore without a doubt, and it has its own unique feel to it that the other Souls games can't really touch, but most certainly not the most difficult. Replay it after playing through the rest and you'll find each boss to be fairly easy, even False King and Flamelurker.PoE already has decent enough lore, they just need to expand on it instead of making us press M.
but that's wrong you fucking scrub

Without following any build or redommendations.
The fuck?
>doing the content overeleveled is cheesing nowadays
really makes me think
>>168038024
Considering I arrived at that level by natural progression and engaged the Lab before Dominus, I wouldn't think I'm overleveled. I'd have to skip a lot of stuff to not arrive there at that level
>>168038153
lab is a level 33 zone, which makes you overleveled
you probably just full clear every area like an idiot
37 is not more than 33
we truly are entering a new age
I believe in equality of all races and all sexes and things. Math is a social construct so saying 33 = 37 is a perfectly valid point of view on a post feminist world

I swear to god there's some weird fuckery going on with the reduced health recovery mod in maps
I see my globe fill with leeched health all the way up but suddenly the amount left to recover goes down even though I'm not being hit or have blood rage on or anything
So, it's me, the Wild Strike guy.
I picked the Raider Ascendancy and then realized that the Pathfinder held way more and way better bonusses for physical to elemental damage, especially because it also adds hella survivability.
Should I spend the 10 regret points to respecc?
Also, how Do I farm Regret Orbs in Act 4 normal?

There are a bunch of Dots you may not notice if you have normal regen, including some map mods. Or maybe your mana flasks has a life malus on use.

Right now I just can't see a lot of use in phasing, all it does it lets me walk through enemies, wow
Is there some secret to making it work or do I just have to bite the bullet and wait till I rand the lab on higher difficulties to get some use out it?

Guys I want to make a SSF char and get up to shaper and kill him, any build suggestions? My fav skill is cyclone followed by Icecrash but those are probably to reliant on Uniques to even get to that level of content
either Cyclone or Ice Crash would probably have a very hard time even with traded BiS gear
I could see totem builds taking down Shaper though, you only need good mechanical skill and decent reliable dps

wildstrike is competent but feels like ass for boss killing, since most ws damage comes from your arcs
vgrace is ok but you cant really build around it. its something you pop when you feel like shit gets dangerous
id suggest just fucking doing a basic/start build to at least reach and farm maps and then build something more endgame based on what uniques and good rares you get doing that

When you have culling strike implicit on a weapon is it like a gem that's only linked with the other gems on it, or whenever you use that weapon even if you're using a link in your chest it will culling strike
It's when you hit with the weapon i think
Just dropped a 5l Kitava's Feast. Is Flickerstrike the most fun with it? I also have a 6l Cospris but should I grab a Kaoms heart instead?

to be fair, getting a build (not talking about fotm cheesing builds, just any decent build) to be shaper capable is easier/faster than reaching gritft 40
mostly due to do GGG's terrible balance

Why is Act 4 so shit?
Feels tacked on and unnecessary like Act 4 of Diablo II.
>why is poe so shit
because it's a front for a kiwi RMT scheme
level design is hard and whoever made a2 and a3 probably didnt work on a4 at all or had xhis underlings do all the work
>why is X so shit
forgot your cat picture
you cant deny they:
a. made the most grindable story area to be the ugliest, most boring-looking area in the entire game
b. made a4 extremely linear. almost as linear as a1
c. the writing/story becomes a mess
The harvest, kaom's and daresso's areas look quite well tho. Its mostly the 1st half the act that looks like shit.
>a4
>linear
do you get to keep the character you make in alt start poe
what's stopping me from making a level 22 characters for freee
you can deny anything, even your own humanity
a2=youve got shit to do on both sides of the town. up to you the order or even how you gain access to the boss area
a3=you backtrack a bunch to advance and have alternate routes and optional side areas
a4=once you break the seal you just go on a straight line to the boss room. it doesnt matter how you gain entrance to the boss room or help dialla break the seal, you just gotta kill all bosses in whatever order you want

>>168106985
>>168108887
My favourite level design of a hack&slasher so far was Act2 of Diablo 2.
I also kinda like the third act of Titan Quest, but that game didn't have randomized levels, so it doesn't really count.
people dont give a shit about hedge maze after you get your trials done because of lack of incentive to do the fairgraves quest.
but that is a problem of quest progression design and not of level design
>maybe if I tack on "design" to my words, they'll seem more vaguely intelligent
nice shitposting design
>>168110187
I liked the dried lake look. I would have liked to tread through more harsh mountain areas.
Also, the crystal veins look bleak as shit.
Most of the levels have a very monotone environment, I get it for the normal mines but COME ON. "Crystal mines"? That name begs for some funky disco lights! There's a reason why the Solaris and Lunaris Temples look cool and their tileset is the hardest to obtain
>>168110960
if you are too dumb to understand quest and level design are 2 different jobs, dont blame for it
>>168110989
dried lake would be fine if it wasnt also the designated grind area.
and yes solaris+lunaris are probably the best looking dungeons/tilesets of the entire game and of all modern arpgs
dude

Is Evasion worth it? just read that evasion isn't viable in higher difficulties and wanna know what armor type is a good to pick instead?

>>168120076
I'm currently at the beginning of Cruel
winning a HC demi is a prerequisite for posting in poeg!
*leaves poeg definitely*
evasion requires you to stack high life (6k minimum) + pick up acrobatics and phase acro and then its pretty good for a life build
Obliteration PB Occultist vs Gladiator GV
Anyone tried those as league starters?
I think I just accidentaly sold the flask I got for the Mercy Mission on Curel
How would Gratuitous Violence apply? you can't bleed enemies with spells, idiot
I'm talking about generic explode on kill builds and not obliteration for both, just wonder which is easier to scale and stack defenses on. Assuming Occultist goes CI and Gladiator high block chance.
CI build vs life build that gets max block on a 5c budget
hmm
really wonder which one is more budget
>CI
literally irrelevant because we'll all be playing SSF HC soon
Obliteration build is pretty budget viable provided you don't choke yourself for highest ES possible but I'll take your side for my league starter choices since the skill tree for my EK obliteration is too rigid.
CI is totally viable in SSF if you're not a casual 2h/day
like, it's not even hard to farm a decent 6l base anymore, titaniums and hubris are easily alched/chaos into something decent, 11-12k ES in SSF is entirely plausible after a month of grind
>after a month of grind
audibly kek'd at this
turns out CI is only viable end game, not as a league starter if you don't resort to trading
shocker
I won't be doing SSF because I got one friend into hardcore cool guys club, so unless he quits I'm not ProjectPT or they let SSF to party for some retarded reasons (yeah right)

>>168129065
Uber Atziri is considered up there with Chayula but not sure about specifics that are different due to being busy this league.
Shaper is really rippy but if you killed the other 4 easily you might make it provided you evade slams and pass dps checks in adds phases.

Everything else feels boring.
these challenge race events are a p cool idea tbqhwyf
i havent played this game in a couple years but i'll try these because it's like a roguelike sort of, novel challenges instead of minmaxing. Nice idea to add some replay value to an arpg.
maybe he just feels really comfy doing the exact same thing over and over like your typical autie
its really not unlike the autists who shape their atlas to do strand 24/7 and only strand
I hate when I start a race slow and I know I could have gained like 20 ranks if I had shaved off like 3 minutes at the start

Tbh WI is really the best there in my opinion. It's so easy to build around just the staff. Also as soon as you hit 33 and can wield it you're basically invincible

How far can I expect to get with a basic Whispering Ice build?
kill shaper
""basic""" WI means no astramentis, no signets, blacked sun crest, etc
so with some 800-900 int and a proper ascendancy for it, you can still do most things
WI can literally do any content including HoGM

do you have any idea how unnecessary it is to add details to feet in a 3d isometric game? it's not like your toes have to separate in intricate ways the same way your fingers do so even a realistic 3d game with realistic 3d models probably wouldn't give a shit

Can you express yourself in an intelligible way without cancerous greentexting? The reason to play SSF now is that there's an enforced competitive frameset. There's not much more to it, yes you could play SSF before but there were no recognition. If you understand why people race just to be top 50, you can understand why some people will race to be top 50 SSF.
>>168196893
pvp could have been awesome if they did it correctly. imagine balanced pvp with tournaments that awarded demigods and what not
SSF is popular because GGG has made the game too easy and veteran players prefer a challenge
there IS a time limit on the ladder because everyone stops playing after two weeks and then nobody cares anymore
they have tools in place to detect when people share accounts(IP logs, hardware hashes, client IDs)

>try really hard to stop people account sharing
>can't stop anyone using a macro
lmao sure
That's not even the point.
The "no time limit" is not an issue because at most, you can only play 24 hours a day on a given account, with some of it being done by a bot or another player sharing your account. But there is much less incentive to do so in a SSF league just so you can kick down another efficient top 50 player a few ranks. If you're going to bot, rmt, cheat, buy challenges, etc. you wouldn't play SSF in the first place. The point is, you can't massively increase your progress by flipping the market in the first couple weeks or selling a lucky drop.
Pooling together resources to get an early 6-link, playing with a support bitch, playing cookie cutter builds you copypaste from others, and so on is not possible in SSF. So there's not a possible massive disparity between someone that plays 2 hours a day or someone that plays 12 hours a day, assuming equal efficiency it just means the former one will reach the same point 6 times slower, not 60 or 120 times.
Also you're not "proving" anything besides you can compete with other players within a restricted ruleset. You can still opt out at any time and buy your challenges in trading league, so getting 40/40 while remaining strictly SSF wouldn't even be verifiable.
Losers like ProjectPT who played SSF with horrible ineffiency just for the novelty of it wouldn't even register on the ladder because now they would be compared to actual good racers and they'd be rank 2000 nobodies. It's a good thing he quit before embarrassing himself any further.

SSF makes div cards actually useful because you will need to farm them to get a decent 6link and other useful uniques

first of all i'm regularly in the top50
second of all the only reason i haven't been in the top 10 since the 1.3 1mo race is because i simply don't want to be
leveling past 95 is fucking terrible and it's something i'll probably never do again
i'll admit the game is a lot more competitive than it was back then. the clearspeed meta hadn't caught on at that point and the powercreep wasn't out of control like it is. i prefer a slower style of play(mostly because i'm kinda old)
didn't ask for your life story

(end)
question, how do I get more damage nowdays? every1 keep talking about some double dipping and tell me to go poison or fire (singlal fire, reach all that crap|)

What the shit is happening to these threads?
end-of-league syndrome
>>168221468
Well they aren't wrong. Poison double dipping shenanigans are really strong considering the investments you make. It's the cheapest source of damage you can get. If you just play vanilla bow builds your gear is what determines your damage: biggest factor being your bow (something nice like 450 dps harb). If you really want high damage out of a bow build there's the signal shot build but that's fairly expensive. You should just try a poison-barrage setup for single target and see what that does with your current setup/gear. There's king of the forrest if you need a build to compare to for going 'full poison'.
>It's the cheapest source of damage you can get.
wrong, it's the one with one of the highest exponential scaling, which says nothing about how cheap it is
>>168222973
don't ask too many questions
Ziggy D (who is at GGG headquarters right now) said our minds will be blown tomorrow.
I'm about to kill myself with this here shotgun so he's not wrong
You think you matter so much
You don't
>>168223434
I should have worded it differently: I mean you can get very high damage output with very shit gear using poison, in contrast to a vanilla bow build that has very shit damage with very shit gear. Thus, you don't need to spend as much to reach a comfortable damage level using poison than you would for a vanilla bow build. I assume he is playing a vanilla bow build because that's what it sounds like.
>no PT stream where he's all angry and upset while reading patch notes
fuuuuuck
>>168223248
I guess Im gonna kill that little inner hipster and give it a shoot. Tbh my selfmade 370pds 8,6base crit was ok till that t14, but I'm about to hit a wall with t14 and nasty modes or so. Briliant strategy of packing flat all over my stuff won't work anymore because I have flat all over my stuff already...
On more optimistic note, I got pretty sturdy, first time ever. I though IR is gonna be suicide, but it actually shine more with every next tier. It's just pain in the ass to maintain it.
poison + generic bow skill without a reach of the council is going to be complete shit, since supports like GMP will double dip, less damage on the hit, less damage on the poison
poison barrage without a reach of the council/death's harp is also going to be complete shit, and have shit ass clear speed
let's dispel this myth that you only need an added chaos gem to instantly make your build better, you need to go balls deep to start seeing ROI, otherwise you're better off being a generic crit phys build, Hatred is pretty good
>>168224160
"370pds 8,6base" translate to I won't get upgrade here for shit.

I could do this and bit more with crit caster elementalist twice lately, (Arc good AoE, single not that much) and F. Pulse (other way around,) For last I bought 5l chest for 12c some time ago and valyrium for 2c (i overpaid tb h). Rest is selfound or self-made and its not some hot shit made with all orbs from league, just average stuff, Atm I could do t12 or t13 rare+vaal and ezz do most of yellows, still no 6l, ssf wand etc.
It's nice because it's flexible- you lack def, you take shield. You lack dpz, you take 2 wands/daggers, etc.

>>168229197
also, as they say, grind spider forest and youll get one pretty fast
WI is a TERRIBLE league starter build, precisely because you need INT everyfuckingwhere to reach respectable ES and not take 5 seconds to kill trash, which leads to a very awkward tree pathing avoiding actual ES nodes and pathing for INT INT INT INT
various needed uniques that complement the build well like Astramentis are also fuckexpensive in the ES meta, you don't have a shield, use a unique heavy itemization which forces you to get even more res to cap for ele weakness maps, etc.
yeah you do save fuses from not needing to 6L it (and even then you probably want a 5L if you go the SR CWC version anyway) but that's not really the selling point when you need a budget of 10-15+ ex to make it work, eh?
can this shit general get anything right?
you are retarded if you think you need those uniques for WI to work.
those push WI into another level, but it works fine with an average damage of 3k-4k which is what you get without them
there are far better builds to start a league with and build wealth and THEN transition into more expensive, gear specific builds like WI
if you're comfortable with a mediocre build that hits a wall very soon because you can't scale your INT properly and get cucked by locked gear pieces, be my guest but don't recommend it to newbies who are going to expect it to perform as well as flameblast totems
>>168230041
so get off ur high horse and recommend him something
>>168230041
The person was asking to do tier 10 maps for shaping. Sure there are better league starters in my mind since WI requires you to do maps before you have your base build which is opposite of what that person wanted but WI can do tier 10 maps with a less then 20c cost on softcore.
>>168230502
truth to be told i recomended WI after u guys, never tried it %) I should've recommend him life bow ranger w/o meta crap (or is it former meta crap already?) like reach or signal fire. I did it, he can do it too. :^)
All you need is to make urself 300pdps 8+base bow, easyp easy, lol
>>168230041
>he thinks you need to avoid es nodes on the tree and instead go for all int despite the fact that es nodes and int nodes are on the same part of the tree
>he thinks you need a 5link for cwc
>he thinks you need an astramentis minimum when you can buy a 50 int amulet with some res +es for 10c
>he thinks you need to go perandus signet max unique for anything but max endgame damage
all I'm saying is that saying WI is "cheap" because you don't need to 6L the weapon is looking at the tree and missing the forest, the build enabler is cheap, the itemization around it is NOT, furthermore the because the tree spreads itself so thin, it makes it a pretty shit build to start the league with unless you have infinite regrets in your stash, typically WI is your second build, with generic meta totem build being your first because they can organically scale with upgrades rather than demand a vastly different setup so flip off alright
>>168230041
It's a fine league starter.
You can just focus on getting gear with T1 or T2 int rolls near the start of the league then gradually upgrade. You don't even need astramentis, a good rare amulet can still give 80+ int.
It doesn't require a 6L or even a 5L, hell it only requires a 4L if you want to do CWC SR.
Tier 10 maps I would imagine would be easiest with firestorm build at the start of a league. 5l firestorm and curse on hit Herald of lightning with ci at the start od the league.

korea can't into kawaii
aits actually hilarious that you dont think blade vortex isnt a good league starter
the phys damage and rapid poison stacking is actually broken
and gearing is cheap as fuck, you dont need any uniques or anything special
just sockets and links
are you retarded?
it's not a good league starter for two reasons
1) you generally want poison from another source than the support gem itself which is dogshit, this implies either cospri's will or pathfinder
1a) if you need cospri's, then it's not a good league starter, furthermore if you start as a berserker your early tree pathing will be weak as fuck, try leveling as a spellcaster marauder rofl
1b) pathfinder gets expensive to reach full power because flasks are expensive
withchfire brew? sin's rebirth? how far can you push with just an atziri's promise?
same issue as berserker when it comes to early leveling
2) poison is, by nature, a great boss killer but a poor mapping tool since you want generic high on-hit damage for leech and one-shotting trash as you shield charge through them rather than awkwardly tip toeing and waiting for them to die 3 seconds later (as you backtrack to pick up loot)
people here seem to have a clinical inability to differentiate league starter (fast map clear speed, decent boss kill speed) from a specialized end game farmer (map clear speed irrelevant, excellent boss kill speed)
You dont even need to go poison for a BV build to be good.
Try assassin with marylene's.
you're an actual fucking idiot making that assumption
great argument
really changed my pov
>he thinks degen effect like poison is bad for mapping
>there are "people" in this forum not going EA mementalist as a league starter
smfh
explosive arrow is garbage
killing trash instantly is more effective than ramp up damage which is only useful vs bosses that don't die instantly
wow
it's almost like
common sense???
ehh poison isn't that good for general clearing, you want more hit damage especially if you're using HoA to improve clearspeed.

BV is used by absolutely no one in races except HH ones
ask yourself why if it's sooooo good and sooooo gear independent
reminder that 2.6 is going to be a flashback themed league only because past league mechanics will make people buy more stash tabs
>races
who the fuck cares?
also, most races start at twilight strand, mongoloid
if you can't learn anything from racing, that explains why you think bad league starter skills are actually good
that's because you see the end result on stream, not the early leveling process
but hey if you think you can compete with the guys who know how to race to dried lake in 6 hours in a new account, sure
Are these nodes a noobtrap
why are you moving the goalposts to racing?
are you retarded?
good league starter = gear independent, good progression curve instead of starting to become decent at level 80
not moving the goal post, just trying to make you understand why BV is not a good league starter but you're stubbornly convinced it is despite providing zero arguments as to why
by using a poison gem, you're literally working with a 3.5L instead of a 4L and so on
by starting with optimal classes like berserker or pathfinder, you're literally crippling your early level progression which is fine if you have currency and leveling gear already but not when you start a league
how about you check the rest of the tree and look what 2 points can get you, you mouthbreathing retard
